Day 2

nice (villefranche), france

Arrival: 10:00 - Departure: 19:00

Nice endures its annual influx of tourists each summer, offering all the typical features of a Riviera town: relaxed wealth, a generous beach, museums, and flower-lined avenues, but without the pretentious detachment of its neighboring towns. Moreover, Nice boasts excellent public transportation within the city and to all destinations along the Côte d’Azur, making it an ideal base for exploring the Riviera. The city's long, narrow beach and sunbathing guests are the main attractions for most visitors. However, Nice's old town, or vieille ville, is also worth exploring. This historic district is a unique mix of glamour and a Mediterranean medieval quarter with narrow streets and open-air markets. For a breathtaking Riviera view, climb to the top of the castle. The city also houses several exceptional museums, such as the Musée Matisse, which showcases the work of French painter Henri Matisse, and the Musée National Marc Chagall, dedicated to the work of painter Marc Chagall. The grand Promenade des Anglais stretches along the coast. This pedestrian area is teeming with boutiques, bustling restaurants, and tourists of all kinds. Nice's nightlife is vibrant, with the maze of narrow streets in the vieille ville concealing restaurants and bars, contributing to the city's Mediterranean charm.

Day 3

livorno (lucca) - italy

Arrival: 07:00 - Departure: 21:00

The city of Livorno is situated in Tuscany. Today, it stands as an industrial hub on the Mediterranean coast, with its primary industries being metallurgy and chemicals, though it also boasts a significant oil refinery. Despite its industrial focus, the city also attracts tourists due to its rich history and unique experiences it offers. Originally, Livorno started as a small fishing village. However, it held great significance for the Medici family due to its strategic location, and they declared the port a free port from 1590 until 1860. This allowed the city to flourish. However, much of this development was lost during the Second World War when the city suffered extensive damage, particularly to its historic Cathedral and synagogue.

Day 8

mykonos, greece

Arrival: 07:00 - Departure: 18:00

Mykonos is a favored vacation spot located in the Cyclades group of Greek islands, nestled in the heart of the Aegean Sea. In the 1960s, Mykonos emerged as a bohemian hotspot and has since evolved into one of the most glamorous holiday resorts in the country, proudly showcasing its vibrant style and reputation. For many years, this central Cyclade was the top Mediterranean destination for gay travelers, although recently Mykonos has been working to attract a more diverse crowd. Despite this, the nightlife remains very gay-friendly and the island is a haven for any party-goer with its loud and lengthy nights. The main town on the island is Chora, or Mykonos town, which is filled with narrow, winding streets, buildings painted white with blue accents, delightful restaurants, clothing and jewelry stores, a fish market, and a vegetable market. It is one of the most cosmopolitan and bustling towns in the Aegean. Apart from Chora, there is only one other town on the island, Ano Mera, which is quieter and less frequented by tourists. While visiting, be sure to see the Monastery of Panagia Tourliani, a traditional Greek Orthodox Church featuring a beautiful iconostasis. The island itself is arid and barren, but it boasts some excellent sandy beaches, the most famous of which are Paradise and Super Paradise. However, there are many other beaches to explore around the island. From the quaint port, you can take a boat to the beaches or to Delos, transitioning from the present to the ancient past, from one set of myths to another.

Day 9

santorini, greece

Arrival: 07:00 - Departure: 21:00

Created by a massive volcanic eruption that is believed to have inspired the legend of Atlantis, Santorini is the most visually stunning island in the Aegean Sea. The island is essentially the outer edge of a submerged volcano, with its entire eastern coast consisting of a series of small towns situated on tall hills. Fira, the island's dramatically located capital, is perched on the cliffs overlooking the sea. Fira, along with the Parthenon, is one of the most recognized images of Greece. Its narrow streets are filled with souvenir shops, charming boutiques, and numerous jewelry stores. It is home to two beautiful churches, the Greek Orthodox and the Catholic Cathedral of St John the Baptist, as well as a small local museum. Fira also boasts a vibrant nightlife, with excellent restaurants and bars, and a few nightclubs. The city itself is a spectacle, especially at sunset. Another great spot to watch the sunset is the town of Ia, a small village perched on the rocky point of land at the northern tip of the island, 300m above the sea. The beaches in Santorini are unique compared to other Greek beaches due to their distinctive geographical features. Red and black volcanic pebbles cover the shores of Santorini's beaches, and steep cliffs create a scenic atmosphere. The most famous of these beaches is the Red beach, while Perissa, Kamari, and Perivolos are also very popular. Santorini is a truly magnificent destination. The placement of some of its main towns along the cliff-top edge of the caldera is one of the most breathtakingly beautiful sights in the world. The buildings seem to defy gravity as they cling to the cliffs and are stacked one on top of the other like a pile of sugar cubes. The sandy, multicolored beaches are just the cherry on top.
